Holometabolous phylogenetic relationships, showing the monophyly of Coleoptera (beetles), Lepidoptera (moths), and Diptera (flies), to the exclusion of Hymenoptera (bees and wasps). Branch lengths are from maximum likelihood. Numbers report maximum likelihood bootstrap support (in percent); Bayesian posterior probabilities and maximum parsimony bootstrap support are ≥ 99% for each branch (Table 1).
